Amchi Bombay!
A very famous political party who changed the name of the beautiful city called Bombay to Mumbai which now happens to be a not-so-beautiful city, wants everything in Mumbai to be Mumbai. I will not by any chance name the political party because I am scared of the Shiv ki Sena, like they want me to be.
Anyway, continuing with the report, the leader of the political party wants that all institutions in the city with ‘Bombay’ as a prefix to be changed to Mumbai, or else they will do something ‘horrible’. Oh yeah, that’s news. Shiv ki Sena doing something horrible. Their political party workers later targeted a famous school, the Bombay Stock Exchange, a textile showroom and a newspaper house.
So wait a minute, a person can’t use a proper noun in his/her company? Because last time I checked Bombay was a proper noun, and it isn’t even a slang. It was a name of a city before The Sena came and changed it and made it Mumbai.
The speech and the destruction has brough the party to the limelight again, the media hyping it, the youth getting all charged up. Example : “what is this nonsense what sena want to do. think man u r going to give a base which will be divide our country now u r dividing Mumbai after some time south Indian will demand to make separate country for us plz there is so much with mumbai person plz solve those instead of this nonsense”
Sure, you have demoracy and the freedom and the rights to do stuff, but there is an old quote, “Your freedom ends where my nose begins.” So, if they destroy property, then they are actually digging somebody else’s nose :P
The people also want the political party leader to be arrested so that he can get a bail within a day, I don’t get it, democracy is being used in India in a very wrong way, and as I had said earlier we should try becoming a communist country.
And trust me, next thing you know he wants to change history textbooks, stating the reason that Bombay is no more called Bombay, it’s called Mumbai.
Why do all this when you know your party is gonna lose the election, I wonder.

Most of the people still call ‘chimney’ Bombay, an American will pronounce Mumbai like he pronounces Jayesh =P
I am sick and tired of Indian ministers changing state and city names, even Banglore’s name was changed to some African tribe like name.
